The Myth Of Donald Trump The Winner (And How He Treats Those He’s Hurt)
The Lid ^ | 2/11/16 | Jeff Dunetz

Posted on 02/12/2016 8:16:30 AM PST by pookie18

Part of the Donald Trump appeal is that he is a great businessman, and he certainly has taken his dad's business and grown it to big heights. But Trump is less of a business manager, and more of a marketing genius-a PT Barnum. He knows what to say and do to promote. It's why he is leading in the polls, and why he gets all the free airtime from the media.

His record as a COO/Manager, etc. is uneven. He has built businesses and he has destroyed them, as witnessed by his four bankruptcies. The Donald will correctly say he has never filed for bankruptcy. What he has done is driven a business into the ground causing the business to go belly up.

Donald Trump is a great "talker" and promoter, and to be perfectly honest that is part of what we need in America. Certainly in his effort to become president he has talked an excellent game and so far he has been lucky that there has been few attempts to back up his promoting skills.

America needs need much more than a promoter and bloviator, we need someone who can "manage," and the record shows Trump is not the best at managing.

Trump keeps saying he is a winner/he doesn't lose…That's not true, including the four bankruptcies, here are twelve times where he has lost:

What if the creditors already lost their money before Trump took over?

Trump knows what to say and do to promote? How great is that? Exactly what this country needs! Trump speaks the straight truth. Not a whole lot of phony nuances in his declarations. Trump is not afraid of the truth. The rest of the politicians running for President of the U.S. disqualify themselves by dancing around one truth or another. Go, Trump!

Be brave for posting complete and utter BS that is beyond contempt. Oh, the shame of a couple business restructures in a 9 billion dollar organization. Oh, the horror. I guess we should support the slimy lawyer-politican Cruz, who never created a damn thing or met a payroll.

Actually, during my daily gathering of material, I’ve collected dozens of them that I haven’t posted because I think they’re a bit over the line. Whenever someone accuses me of Trump bashing, I send them the links to show them what I haven’t put in the threads.

Sucker for Cruz, no doubt. Good luck with that.

How he treats those who reject him? Never know due to non-disclosure agreements. His first wife can’t talk to the public without his approval. First amendment rights and any other constitutional rights are not protected unless you are a billionaire and have pit bull lawyers. Just a fact of life.

Again with the Bankruptcy lie.

Most people have NO idea what KIND of BKo’s FOUR out of hundreds of companies acquired by Trump were involved in. Now, TED Cruz, LAWYER knows he is lying about it, or he’s one TERRIBLE lawyer!

DONALD TRUMP HAS NEVER FILED PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY. NONE of the hundreds of companies he acquired ever filed liquidation bankruptcy. FOUR of them filed for REORGANIZATION where the creditors AGREE to a repayment plan.
Let an expert explain it to you.

Law Dictionary: How is Donald Trump Able to File for Bankruptcy So Many Times?
http://thelawdictionary.org/article/how-is-donald-trump-able-to-file-for-bankruptcy-so-many-times/

Written by James Hirby Fact checked by The Law Dictionary staff

People might ask “How is Donald Trump able to file for bankruptcy so many times?” The answer is “He didn’t.” Trump himself has never filed for bankruptcy. His corporations have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times. By filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the corporation is allowed to continue running while restructuring and reducing its debt. By allowing the business to continue, employees still have their jobs and the business is still making money. Corporate debts still need to be repaid but they may be reduced. The corporation must develop a repayment plan and corporate budget. Both must be approved by the creditors and by the bankruptcy court.

This story is but a crack in the Trump armor - now.

The facts are that there are more people who will not vote for Mr. Trump for anything!

His GOP competitors are hardly hitting him with anything that strong now, leaves him barley bruised up until now. They've pretty much believed he would self-destruct and that could still happen but I don't doubt it. Besides, the establishment would rather have the infamous "deal maker" than the inflexible Cruz!

What will ultimately come out from the DNC won't be pretty and definitely this light.

Who knows, because they've (the DNC) held back, waiting to see how far the RNC establishment dusts Trump up.

On October 27, 2014, the Court in a RICO class action against Donald Trump issued an Order granting class certification of a nationwide class of all students who purchased live event seminars from Trump University from January 1, 2007 to the present.
